There is an Asian dish called a hot pot. It involves vegetables and thinly sliced meats arranged in a dish then boiling hot flavored broth is poured over them. The hot liquid cooks the meat and heats everything to eating temperature.

Whoa, $12.98/kg for pork shoulder! I notice the other packages near this one seem to be Asian.

That price is probably because it's pre-sliced very thin. You could do the same thing at home by partly freezing the meat and slicing it thinly; a mandolin might be helpful, although I haven't tried slicing meat on one. Hmm, need to try that.

Thanks guys. I had never heard of Hot Pot before. Mrs D found them and asked me if there was something we could make out of them and I told her I didn't have the foggiest what they were. I thought they may have been stuffed with something. I found a YouTube video that explains Hot Pot.

They were in the frozen food section where all the Asian foods are. They were beside the frozen dumplings which made me think they may have been stuffed.
